    My god I have so much to learn. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks so much for all your help. I’ll get cracking on this in the coming days you might get a few DMs in the near future haha.

        I was gonna DM you but I figured I might as well keep it here in case it can help someone else :)

        It looks like the first few inches of cable coming out of the camera (the segment with the power/ethernet splitter) is outdoor rated. It’s just the thin extension cable and power block cable that are meant for indoors it seems.

        So what if I bought something like this?

        Being sure that it’s compatible, I could run this outdoor rated cable all the way to a junction box right beside the outlet, instead of installing conduit the whole way. Is that a crazy idea?

          Yeah, as long as it’s rated for outdoors you should be fine. And a little extra tape and heatshrink are always worth it in the long run.
